They were Unites States based HR Departments. Pants, did not include Jeans.

You are correct. Looked it up, and Jeans are sub-category of Pants. Though, I live in the US and have never had someone refer to jeans as pants. It seems a technical definition that I've never seen used that way. I know arguing with HR they did not see it that way.

Perhaps HR really meant 'slacks'. as in Dressy Pants.
Chezmoi was a complete workflow changer for me. https://www.chezmoi.io/
Let's me manage/synchronize my configs between systems. It has built in variables and scripting support so you can ignore sections of files or specific sections of files on certain systems, write specific configs for specific systems based on hostname or OS.
It's a bit of work to get an understanding of, but incredibly powerful once you do.

Whenever I setup a new system now, I install chezmoi, clone my comfig repo and then initialize it and it uses the chezmoi scripts to automatically installs all my programs and copies in the needed config files.

1. They’re popular because they’re often better than hotels. You get a kitchen, more space, often dog-friendly. I much prefer a STR for weeklong trips for those reasons.

2. More revenue. A STR might go for $200/night. So 10-15 nights to clear the same as a monthly lease.

It's discouraging that an LLM can accurately recall a book. That is, in a sense, overfitting. The LLM is supposed to be much smaller than the training set, having in some sense abstracted the training inputs.

Did they try this on obscure bible excerpts, or just ones likely to be well known and quoted elsewhere? Well known quotes would be reinforced by all the copies.
Playwright is a headless browser automation framework. It lets you script browser actions in an offscreen window, simulating user activity in a real browser.

It's not really the issue here though. If you want to capture real user auth and requests, you have to man in the middle them somehow. A Chrome extension is probably the easiest to do that, in terms of UX, because you can interact with the university website directly and intercept its requests.

Same. I’m traveling with our family of four tonight to visit an elderly relative, we’re meeting halfway. If we stayed in a hotel, we’d need two rooms, we’d have to pay for restaurant food.

My wife has a Walmart grocery pickup order we’ll grab when we get there. We’ll eat good food and not break the bank.

Also, although we looked, there’s no obvious “third space” we could meet at and hang out for 8 hours or so. The Airbnb is the best value hands down. We get to live in another city for two days.

How would that right read? Maybe “Every Canadian has the right to housing in the desirable neighborhoods of Toronto”? I’m not sure if that is really feasible.
Often-illegal hotels which largely circumvent taxes to enrich some landlords and possibly the local tourism industry (at the expense of everyone in the community who requires housing) is almost certainly not the best use of limited housing resources.
> Highest and Best Use

"Most profitable" != "best for society at large". Ignoring (or denying) that is the core issue with all these MBA programs, McKinsey and the other consultant vampires. They all preach short-term benefits exclusively while ignoring that without a sizable mass of people who actually have the money to buy things, enough time on their hand to have a reason to buy things and children to keep up the economy, eventually the economy will just crash and burn.

Yeah; I briefly did some consulting work at a sports betting company. They have a database of hundreds of people who are essentially banned because they’re too good at picking winners, and the betting company loses money having them as clients.

Internally they track how much each account wins & loses. If you win too much, the site gives you worse and worse odds until eventually you’re banned entirely. The reverse is also true: if you’re a terrible better, the site gives you better odds hoping to keep you coming back for more.

They have a whole team whose job it is to instantly block smart betters from opening new accounts. Accounts opened in the name of their girlfriends is the classic thing they watch out for.

Some of the smartest gamblers also get hired as quants, and help figure out what the odds should be on the site.
The search feature is useful at times, and while local processing is good enough to find (some of the) photos I've taken that match a search term like "table", it can't currently find a photo from a search term of "specific neighbourhood in my city" or "name of specific mountain I climbed years ago" - so if by processing on their servers allows them to do that then it would be genuinely beneficial.

But not beneficial enough to make up for the loss of privacy, so I've disabled it without finding out how useful or not the functionality is.
That literally means you have to change the law first, then innovate.

Good luck getting to "consensus" with the low end Android manufacturers who do not give a flying fuck about the customer experience and want to save $0.02. It just won't happen before they are forced to do it by the market competition, which won't happen now.
Not totally true. All NFL teams have dress codes. Some of those players with flamboyant outfits actually pay fines every week. They justify the fines as part of the cost of promoting an individual brand over the team brand or image.

Less glibly, just by cutting regulations I’m sure you could get affordable housing in a place like Toronto, but wow the people who think housing is a human right would howl and scream about 10m^2 apartment high rises.

I got the 10m^2 number from the size of some Tokyo apartments. The average apartment size in Toronto, by contrast is ~60m^2.
I'm often confused at what would be the leverage tech workers have.

You can outsource code and services to the other part of the world or well paid consultants any day really.

Unionized industries in general have a geographical, physical and very specialized knowledge others can't replace easily. Ships don't get offloaded, cars don't get produced.

But software? You could fire 90% of your software developers, retain the few that you need to keep the business running and that's it.

Need new features? Good engineers working on a non cryptic codebase will be able to sort the things out given some weeks.

And the paradox is that if we do a good job (documenting, implementing best practices, separating different layers and concerns, writing good automated pipelines) we rend ourselves even replaceable than does that do a crap work.

This doesn't actually bear out. Minimum wage increases really don't have a history of making minimum wage employees unemployable, or destroying the companies affected. In fact, the opposite tends to happen, as these businesses tend to be frequented by other minimum wage employees as customers, so it ends up being a rising tide that lifts all boats.

> Do you want Big Tech to be American companies, or foreign companies?

I'd argue that you can't just airdrop these companies into another country and have them be as successful as they are. Even with much stricter monopoly laws, there is a LOT about America that incentivizes these companies to locate there, and frankly I'm not convinced they'd move.

And as a Canadian, I don't even want Big Tech to be American. =) The US is only part of the world, as you said, but your lax and corrupt legal system is polluting the world with these dangerous megacorps.

Don't get me wrong, we're none better, our system would allow for nearly the same abuse, were it not for the fact that our whole country is smaller in population that California. But the point remains that there's a lot of the world that is looking on in horror at these rampaging monster companies and is not in any way assured by the "at least they're American" defense.

There's a huge step to I'm capability with 16gb and 24gb, for not to much more. The 4060 has a 16gb version, for example. On the the cheap end, the Intel Arc does too.

Next major step up is 48GB and then hundreds of GB. But a lot of ML models target 16-24gb since that's in the grad student price range.

The US also has a relatively huge amount of small banks that are specialized in financing niches. It’s actually a huge competitive advantage. If I want a bank that specializes in loans for PNW fishing boats, that exists, and they are able to competitively price a loan that BoA won’t even consider.

The flip side is that big banks are great at driving down costs for standard operations (when there are enough of them to be competitive). If all I need is a business checking account as a consultant, I can access that for no cost via one of the giants.
I live in a country with great unions. And I am happy for both parts of the force; workers are treated fair and company has no option for exploitation as such.

But in a world where manufacturing has gone down in the west since the 1970s, and money shuffling and soft office jobs has become the way of work life, unions has little benefit.

In the west people has shifted from a solidarity way of work to a far more individualised career path. We work for ourselves, to become wealthier for ourselves, while the struggle is still as real as ever, in terms of who holds the wealth.

The control of money has never before been on such small amount of hands and the only ones not benefitting from that is the workers. There is no class building or leverage any longer, the fight is fought individually. The winners are corporate and people in power.

Try to look up the history of unions in USA just for study, and see how its almost baked into politics that unions will never happen.

> The Airbnb is the best value hands down. We get to live in another city for two days.

Don't y'all have stuff like legit short term rental apartments in the US?! Here in Europe, almost every tourist destination will have such places, you can find and book them on the aptly named website. Hell in a pinch there's also what we call "Monteurzimmer", basically a hostel with a few shared kitchens, they're aimed for tradespeople from out of town during the week, and on weekends they're a cheap stay for travelers on a budget. All of these are legitimate licensed operations that pay taxes, have to follow fire and general safety codes, and don't annoy their neighbors.
Why not call them the houseless then?

I think part of the linguistic shift is to imply social ownership. Unhoused describes both their state, but also a failure of someone who is responsible for housing them.
It's a bit different when someone is being intentionally deceptive. None of the major social platforms or protocols guard effectively against someone making a deceptively similar username to impersonate someone.

I bet the vast majority of non-technical people who use email would correctly answer that the two email addresses might belong to different people if asked. That doesn't mean they'll be checking closely while using email every time.

Something similar is possible on Bluesky since usernames are domain names.

And back when PCs were far more open, good old IDE was always an option too.

Ever since BIOS became EFI, and flash ROMs started getting much bigger, it seems they've not been adding functionality but removing it slowly. The excuse is often "security" (against the user), and "legacy" (the oldest interfaces are also the most widely understood and stable).

That said, I'd stay away from the "prebuilt" manufacturers like Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc. if you want configurability. They've always had far less options in their BIOS than equivalent offerings from "enthusiast" or "gamer" oriented companies, although in the laptop space it's more difficult to do that.
Apartments are for living in, not for "unregulated hotels". I don't want a new group of partying people every few days in my apartment building, with the loud music and yelling at 3 in the morning. With long-term neigbors, you can argue a few times and then reach some middle ground, with someone there for 2, 3 days, you can't.

Move the tourists to hotels, let hotel security deal with them.

There are many reasons for housing problems, and airbnb is one of them... not the largest, but banning short-term rentals in residential apartment buildings would solve other problems too.

Anecdotally I used a short-term rental because I was staying in a foreign country on a 6-month visa.

Short-term rentals jacking up prices are a problem for that country and many others, and I was contributing to the problem, but it was important for me to go and AFAIK there aren’t other options.

I wouldn’t have minded staying in the country longer but the visa and my contract don’t work that way.

EDIT: I also looked at hotels. I would’ve been fine with a half-decent hotel room that had a kitchen, but all hotels I saw were more expensive than the rental.

From what I heard from friends, a lot of programs didn't support bank-to-bank transfers with Chinese banks, and a lot of family money was grey (not necessarily due to corruption, but due to the nature of business in China, which changed rapidly in just 30 years).

There were much less invasive ways to nudge businesses to convert black/grey money into white money but the method the Xi admin began enforcing in the 17-18 period also helped with solidifying control.

Kinda sad tbh because a lot of these reforms are needed, but they became politicized.
